Spill kills 27,000 fish

I would never think pollution and dead fish are a laughing matter. However a manure spill on the skunk river. That's funny.

What I find amazing is more than a 1000 bass died in a 5 mile stretch. That's alot of bass. God only knows how many bass are in a 5 mile stretch of the St Clair river. To me this puts into perspective at just how many fish are really there.

Manure Spill Kills 27,000 Fish

POSTED: 4:26 pm CDT August 10, 2011
AMES, Iowa -- More than 27,000 fish have been killed in a fish kill on the South Skunk River near the Hamilton and Story county line.
The Iowa Department of Natural Resources said the fish kill was traced back to a leaking outdoor manure storage structure at a hog confinement near Randall. The manure ran off into a tributary that empties into the river, affecting a five-mile stretch of the river.
The Tribune newspaper in Ames is reporting that more than half of the fish killed were smaller minnow species, but more than 1,000 were smallmouth bass. Other species that were killed include channel catfish, bullhead, bluegill and sunfish.
The DNR is continuing its investigation.
Anthony Adams - As your director I believe in promoting the enjoyment of fishing to all. I encourage good sportsmanship and preserving of natural resources. I strongly encourage all individuals regardless of age, race, or gender to be more involved in the world of fishing

This happened when I was a kid in Wisconsin many years ago. A truck flipped over who happened to be carrying cow manure. Killed the entire little creek and where that water was running into. It sucked so bad because that's where I learned to fish. I believe they ended up closing up the creek.


I feel for the people being affected over the one you mentioned.

We are the only ones who can take care of our valuable resources.

Help stop invasive spcies. Don't move fish between unconnected bodies of water. Clean, drain and dry your boat before launching on another water body.
